When a camellia withers, the entire flower does not fall off, but the petals slowly wither one by one until the end of life.
Such a cautious and reluctant way of withering is the same as people's attitude in pursuing their ideal partner, so gradually camellias have become a symbol of expressing their feelings to the women they love.
